Cultural reproduction or cultural mobility: The influence of individual characteristics and student engagement on academic achievement of the first generation college students in Chinese Research University

With the rapid development of higher education in China, the first-generation college students in China's research universities are gradually becoming the minority .Based on a sample of 5524 students at a research university in China, this study examines the impact of family institutional cultural capital on academic achievement of undergraduates, as well as the moderating effect of individual characteristics and student engagement. The study finds no significant difference between the first-generation college students and non-first-generation college students in grade point average but a significant difference in graduate education opportunities. Compared with non-first-generation college students, being a minority in college and student-student interaction have greater negative influence on first-generation students’ academic achievement, while academic activities participation has a positive impact. The analysis results show that the first-generation college students in Chinese research universities are still at a disadvantage in terms of academic achievement that requires comprehensive ability, but this cannot be simply be attributed to cultural reproduction. Student engagement still plays a role in promoting cultural mobility, and the importance of institutional cultural capital varies by the type and stage of achievement measured.

Sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento da agricultura familiar na comunidade Calumbi no município de Corrente – PI

Taking into account that agriculture is one of the fundamental activities of humanity, family farmers contribute to Sustainable Development. This, in turn, is questioned, among other arguments, due to the difficulty in determining the sustainability of a system. From this perspective, the objective of this study was to evaluate sustainability and family farming in the Calumbi community, Corrente-PI. For that, a case study was used, comprising a qualitative-quantitative research, where data were collected through interviews with the family nuclei of the community. Most of these families lived in rural areas and had their own land suitable for farming, as well as specific natural resources, which makes family farming an accessible activity. However, it is noted that the studied community lacks greater social structures to settle the land and combat the rural exodus. Family farming is important for the process of sustainable development, however, family farmers lack public policies that allow a better insertion in the market and its adequate economic, social, political and cultural reproduction.

A phenomenological study of the lived experience of minority students: The paradox of equitable education and school practices

The focus of this research was to understand the level at which the voices, backgrounds, and experiences of ethno cultural minority students are represented and received recognition or consideration in Ethiopia's education policy formulation context and the actual process and structure of schooling. Using a qualitative phenomenological research approach, this study investigates how the hidden curriculum manifests and shapes the lived experiences of ethno cultural minority students in Ethiopian public elementary schools. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 students and 8 teachers from four ethno culturally diverse primary schools. The emerging themes were investigated using theories of hidden curriculum, cultural reproduction, multiculturalism, and culturally responsive schooling. The study's results revealed that the hidden curriculum exclusively promotes the hegemonic dominance of the cultural capital of the majority, thereby discouraging equality, equity, and social justice. Ethno culturally diverse primary schools in Ethiopia are lacking in the practical implementation of multi-cultural and culturally responsive education. The goal of achieving unity through diversity, which was not accompanied by an understanding and accommodation of our differences, resulted in unequal educational system that effectively marginalized minority students. Therefore the research recommends policymakers should eradicate such a discriminatory, inhuman social treatment and prejudiced policy and practice environment that excludes the experience, aspiration and dreams of minority students. And hence the real and concrete malpractices that the research has uncovered must be stopped with urgency. They have to design policy frameworks that are inclusive, culturally responsive and critical in order for the life goals of minority students to be realized.

A Study of the English Translation Strategies of Sentence Ba in Border Town Translated by Jeffrey C. Kinkley

The Chinese sentence structure “Ba” presents challenges for Chinese to English translation. To provide more translation strategies, this paper establishes a Sentence Ba corpus based on Borden Town translated by Jeffrey C. Kinkley. The corpus is divided into two categories: disposal and double-object Sentence Ba. Translation strategies are discussed, and the results suggest that semantic and communicative translations are used to balance the reading experience of the target language readers with the reproduction of Chinese culture.

ИЗУЧЕНИЕ РЕПРОДУКЦИИ ВИРУСА МЕШОТЧАТОГО РАСПЛОДА ПЧЕЛ ИММУНОЦИТОХИМИЧЕСКИМ МЕТОДОМ IN VITRO В КУЛЬТУРАХ КЛЕТОК

The article presents the results of studying the reproduction of the sacbrood virus (SBV) in cells of heterologous origin using the method of immunocytochemical analysis. To identify the localization of the SBV antigen of bees during its reproduction in sensitive cell cultures of heterologous lines, the method of immunoperoxidase staining of infected cells (IPS) was used, as a result of which sites of specific antibody/antigen interaction were observed on the cell membrane and in the form of inclusions in the cytoplasm.

Концепт «педагогическое событие» в языковой картине образовательной действительности

In order to clarify the terminological apparatus of modern pedagogy, the article discusses the concept of “pedagogical event” and its relationship with the main pedagogical categories: education, training and upbringing. On the basis of research conducted within the framework of linguistics, philosophy, psychology, integral signs of the “event” were identified, namely, the significance of changes in the life of the subject, spatial and temporal localization, which allows to define the “pedagogical event” in a dynamic aspect. If the purpose of education is understood as the transmission, reproduction and generation of culture, then a pedagogical event as a significant change for a person can be defined as a change through the adaptation of the cultural experience of humanity into the cultural experience of a student, as the translation of culture from one person to another.

Реконструкция пространства верований и воспроизводство традиционной культуры на фоне социальных трансформаций в России: на примере строительства православного храма в деревне Центрально-Черноземного региона

Using the ethnographic method of anthropology, this article presents the characteristics of social transformations in Russia based on field research data in a separate village of the Central Chernozem region of Russia. In the course of social transformations since the 1980s, there has been a revival of religious beliefs and traditional culture in Russia, which is manifested in the reconstruction and construction of Orthodox churches. In the villages of the Chernozem region, the process of recreating the Orthodox Church began. Behind the reconstruction of this space of beliefs and the reproduction of traditional culture is the regulation of state/society relations and official/popular relations in a transitional society, the establishment of social order and the realization of social unity, and, consequently, the choice of the way to create and develop a system of state and national identity.

Экология Карла Маркса: обобщение социального метаболизма

Abstract. The purpose of this article is to attempt a conceptual reconstruction of Marx’s theory of social metabolism. The author shows that every living being exists due to the exchange of substances between itself and nature (the universal metabolism of nature). A specific human generic form of such metabolism is praxis that is, conscious transformative activity (social metabolism), the basic form of which is labor as an exchange between man/society and nature, mediated by production, technique and technology. Criticizing narrowly ecological, economic and purely industrial interpretations of the concept of social metabolism, reduced by modern ecological Marxists (P. Burkett, B. Clark, I. Mészáros, J. Moore, C. Royle, K. Saito, J. B. Foster) mostly to various aspects of the material-energy exchange between man (society) and nature, the author proves that K. Marx this form of social metabolism is fundamental for the existence of human society, but not the only one. The author, relying on the entire corpus of texts by K. Marx, and using the methods of textual analysis, reconstruction and extrapolation, shows that in the process of unfolding labor metabolism, specific socio-anthropogenic “worlds” are formed, namely the world of nature, drawn into the sphere of human activity; the world of joint activity as the world of public relations and interpersonal communication; the world of material and spiritual culture; the inner world of the individual. In each of these “worlds” people carry out certain specific modifications of the generic praxis — material production, social activities for the reproduction of culture, social and interpersonal communication, and existential relations to the world. Each of these forms of praxis represents specific varieties of social metabolism within which such types of exchange are carried out as the exchange between man and nature (labor, material production), the exchange of activities between social groups in objective social relations, the exchange of emotions, likes / dislikes, knowledge, traditions, etc. in interpersonal communication and socialization processes. From this analysis, it is concluded that social metabolism totally permeates all levels and structures of social and individual existence, linking them into an organic integrity — the social universe. Because of this, in the concept of Marx there is a totalization of the social universe. This radically distinguishes the ecology of K. Marx from all other forms of ecology, since it is not a doctrine of the interaction of society with nature (ecology) and not calls for environmental protection (environmental studies), but a general socio-praxeological doctrine of the world (internally connected social metabolism) in which man and society exist. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that some of the reconstructed ecological ideas of K. Marx allow us to see that socio-metabolic processes occur not only between man and nature, but cover and permeate all structures and levels of the social universe. Therefore, modern environmental problems can only be solved in a comprehensive, systematic, total way: starting with environmental protection, rational use of natural resources and saving production and ending with sustainable social relations and what academician Dmitry Likhachev called the ecology of culture.

Using Bourdieu's theory of cultural reproduction to examine English language learning: A multilevel study in three lower- and middle-income countries

This study examines the determinants of the gaps in learning outcomes of students in three lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) – Ethiopia, India, and Vietnam. We examined the extent to which English language performance relates to Bourdieu's theory of cultural reproduction, using the Young Lives international school survey data in the three countries. We employed a three-level multilevel model, to investigate variables at the individual, classroom and school levels that may influence English language skills of students. We find that differences in English test performance are attributable to both home background and school factors in all three contexts. Within countries, we find evidence of a high degree of variation in the English test scores of students between schools, indicating the importance of schooling quality and school characteristics for the development of English language skills. We conclude that the process of cultural reproduction through schooling is different for each country, with school-level factors found to reinforce social stratification in countries that are less equitable. This study provides a robust quantitative contribution to the literature base on English language learning in LMICs, where large-scale cross-country comparisons are relatively uncommon due to a relative lack of suitable data. The results and recommendations would be of interest to education stakeholders within LMIC contexts.

Terapia ocupacional e cultura: dimensões em diálogo

Abstract This manuscript aims to deepen and enrich discussions surrounding the intersection of occupational therapy and culture. It explores the relationship between these fields across three different dimensions: i) the cultural aspects of human activities in occupational therapy; ii) the influence of culture in the historical evolution and constitutive processes of occupational therapy, where the arts play a central role; and iii) the potential for culture to serve as a field of practice for occupational therapists, informed by cultural policies and the recognition of culture as a human right. In this framework, culture acquires different contours, providing insights into its relevance for human activities within the scope of occupational therapy. The present debate proposes that culture should be considered in the context of individual, community, and territorial human activities. These activities also participate in hegemonic processes of power that require an occupational-therapeutic approach, one that is cognizant of the complexities of cultural reproduction, hierarchical systems, classifications, violations, and colonization processes, as well as resistance to these factors. The study posits that the links between art, culture, and occupational therapy are merely coincidental but are important to the profession’s historical development and ongoing practice. Moreover, it contends that there exists a specialized field of action directly related to cultural policies, one that requires its own set of theoretical and methodological frameworks. This, in turn, enables potential collaboration with health, social assistance, education, and other sectors.

INTEGRATION OF PESANTREN AND MOSQUE FUNCTION IN TEACHING ISLAM IN SOUTH SULAWESI AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE TOWARDS CONSISTENCY OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION

This article discusses the teaching of Islam through the integration of pesantren and mosques functions, focusing on South Sulawesi. This study is directed to see the significance of teaching in pesantren and mosques in producing and supporting consistency of religious moderation in Indonesia. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method, by applying the theory of cultural reproduction of Pierre Bourdieu, which includes arena and habitus as the main components, of which there is capital. From this, this study concludes that Islamic teaching in pesantren and mosques carried out by ulema has a strong significance in carrying out consistency of religious moderation in South Sulawesi, even in the Indonesian context. The social capital of the ulema in pesantren and mosques builds a social structure that places the ulema as local leaders (agents) in forming a moderate religious model. The significance of teaching Islam further becomes a great opportunity in maintaining and developing religious moderation in Indonesia which is carried out together with the government. The collaboration between the government and the ulema indicates the need for agreement in understanding the urgency of religious moderation in Indonesia. In the agreement, the government as the provider of facilities and infrastructure supports the Islamic teaching movement by the ulema. This is as happened in the process of teaching Islam at the beginning of Islamization in Indonesia, including in South Sulawesi.

The concept of the “pedagogical event” in educational discourse

Clarification of conceptual and terminological apparatus is an urgent task of modern pedagogy, in this connection the paper deals with the concept of pedagogical event, as well as its relationship with the main pedagogical categories: education, training and upbringing. Based on the research conducted within the social and human sciences, the integral features of the event, such as the significance of changes in the life of the subject and spatial and temporal characteristics were identified, which allowed to define the pedagogical event in an interdisciplinary dynamic aspect. One of the main functions of education in the modern world is the transmission of culture from one generation to another, reproduction and development of culture. If the aim of education is understood as the transmission, reproduction and generation of culture, the pedagogical event can be defined as a change through adaptation of cultural experience of humanity to the cultural experience of the student, i.e. translation of culture from one person to another.

Representational Space as Cultural Production in Dalit Text

This article discusses how space works in the narrative world of a Dalit writer and how space is evolved for a writer to represent and register their perspectives. A Dalit writer’s representation can be evolved from recognition of themselves within their community and place. It happens in a particular period when the writer realizes their identity as Dalit. The cultural production happens through language when the experience is penned down. The fullest expression of the writer is so vivid when the narrative space is supple. This article involves Sharan Kumar Limbale’s Outcaste and Yashica Dutt’s Coming Out as Dalit. These two autobiographical novels talk about the spatial influence, importance, changes, and reproduction of culture through language, and their text is explained. Auto-narration is more important in the aspect of Dalit writing and it is being explained here the importance of it. The auto narrative of a Dalit writer gives an extended meaning to the text.

Maternal Landscapes: An Answer to the Problem of Women’s Education in Colonial Mexico

In Sor Juana’s Respuesta a Sor Filotea (1691), she advocates for the education of women in colonial Mexico through emphasizing the figure of mothers as educators. I contend that Sor Juana uses the figure of the mother and maternal spaces to promote a more inclusive education system for women, enabling the pursuit of higher education, traditionally a male domain. Furthermore, by advancing this inclusivity, Sor Juana criticizes the idea that a mother’s role was solely to give birth. Ultimately, this article shows how Sor Juana reconceptualizes motherhood and femininity as an essential means of transmission and reproduction of culture.

Applying an Intersectional Framework to the Study of Opportunity to Learn Science, Sense of Belonging, and Academic Climate in U.S. Schools: A Mediation Model

This study extends research on cultural reproduction theory and employs a critical quantitative lens to examine how schools contribute to differential science outcomes based on intersectional student backgrounds. Using nationally representative PISA 2015 data, structural equation modeling is utilized with intersectional student background groups to examine how U.S. students' educational experiences in schools – opportunity to learn, sense of belonging, and perceptions of academic climate – mediate the relationship between student background and scientific literacy. The direct and indirect findings from this study provide important insight about school mediators that can help account for the gap in science outcomes in the U.S. and inform more equitable policies and practices.

The information agenda of the Turkic World in the media space of the Central Asian region

The article is devoted to the study of the basic parameters of the media space of the Central Asian region in the thematic segment "Turkic world" and the information agenda. The need for research is due to the fact that integration processes are growing between the Turkic-speaking countries. The purpose of the study is to identify the main informational occasions for the media that characterize the reflection of the problems of Turkic studies and the Turkic world in the media space of the countries of Central Asia. Research methods: analysis and synthesis, monitoring and content analysis of the media. The results of the study showed that the published messages in the segment of the media space are more related to political issues. At the same time, it is the media space that is a kind of "repository" of the history, culture, traditions of the Turkic-Slavic peoples, and the media perform the function of cultural reproduction in modern society. The scientific significance of the results of the study lies in the fact that for the first time an assessment of the key parameters of the media space in the thematic segment “Turkic world” was made (the number of publications, the proportion of originals/reprints, information occasions, categories, branches; mass media by genres, headings, by authors). The results of the analysis make it possible to characterize the main media trends in the coverage of key events in the Turkic world, to identify the most influential media that form public opinion. The practical significance is determined by the fact that on the basis of the obtained data it is possible to build an optimal communication strategy for organizations that study the problems of Turkic studies and the Turkic world. Keywords: mass media, media space, Turkic world, information agenda, communications, media analysis.

Role of Folk Doll Archetypes in Modern Culture and Therapeutic Puppetry

The purpose of the article is to identify the basic archetypes of the folk doll and to find out the possibilities of their use in therapeutic puppetry. The research methodology is based on the use of historical, analytical, and semiotic methods of research with culturological interpretation of the findings. The scientific novelty is that the role of folk doll archetypes in modern culture and therapeutic puppetry is examined for the first time from the culturological aspect. Since collective consciousness is activated during art therapy classes and access to the subconscious is gained, folk doll archetypes in combination with specific signs and symbols contribute not only to familiarisation with Ukrainian material and spiritual culture, but also perform an informational and communicative function, simultaneously contributing to the assimilation and reproduction of culture and social adaptation of the individual. Conclusions. Creating a material object, a folk doll, which is at the same time an image-symbol of a person, giving it the meaning of an alter ego, a person through the doll gets the opportunity to reveal the hidden properties of their personality. The use of a folk doll in art therapy, taking into account precautionary mechanisms and addressing its main archetypes, popularises folk culture in modern society and helps in solving problems in the sphere of personal relationships between children and adults.&#x0D; Key words: art therapy, archetype, culture-creative function, therapeutic puppetry, folk doll.
